GuwahatiUnion Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday alleged that the Congress was spreading lies that the BJP plans to amend the Constitution and end reservations if it comes to power for a third term.

Shah also said that the BJP is moving towards its target of over 400 Lok Sabha seats with people’s blessings and support.

“The Congress is spreading lies about the saffron party changing the Constitution and ending reservations… We do not consider voters as minority or majority; the BJP will win 12 of the 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam,” he told a press conference here.

The senior BJP leader slammed the Congress for practicing the “politics of appeasement since the very beginning”, saying it wants to save “what little is left of their support base”.

“The BJP does not believe in reservations based on religion. We also support the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code across the country and ensuring that there is one law for people of all religions,” the Home Minister said.

In a secular country, it is not right to have laws based on religion and this is against the spirit of the Constitution, Shah said.

The BJP condemns Congress’s promise to bring back Islamic personal law as mentioned in the manifesto, he said.

Commenting on Shah’s ‘fake video’ on reservations that was circulating on social media platforms, he said the opposition was using all kinds of methods to mislead people.

A Congress functionary from Assam was arrested on Monday for allegedly circulating the video, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said.

To a question, the Home Minister claimed that the BJP got a “very good response” from the voters in the southern states.

Shah had arrived here on Monday evening and held a roadshow for the party’s Guwahati candidate Bijuli Kalita Medhi.
